I just want to say I was really disappointed when Far Cry 3 basically became the template for Far Cry games.

The main thing I hate is the “observe this outpost from a distance then permatag all the enemies so they’re visible through walls, then take them out” mechanic.

Is the Toaster related to Hitler somehow? If not then the latter.

You’re not going to get fired for looking, at work, at a picture of a person injecting themselves.

That is the basis of the NSFW tag

Just for the record, try not to snort pea protein

But that sounds awesome

What the fuck are you talking about?

I play games for the gameplay, don’t really care about story.

I haven’t played Destiny in a while but if I did it would be for the same reason a person keeps buying new sudoku books: I like solving the puzzles that the levels represent.

I think Destiny is cool in that it’s co-op and you can encounter other players and temporarily team up with them.

I really wish we had the computing power to make a game that was basically massively coop Halo: one big war against the Covenant that everyone can fight in on the side of Humanity.

Not from an ASCII

Minecraft is an amazing game

If I go there will be trouble.

If I stay it will be double.

Then the identity still has a home.

I’ve implemented Oauth and you still have an identity provider.

The vast majority of people who use lemmy have not read the activitypub protocol, and signed up to use lemmy as it exists today

Identity belonging to an instance, changing to identity belonging to the fediverse as a whole.

Identities containing @instance format.

Identities being federated.

At a more abstract level, inviting a bunch of people to play a game, and then changing the rules of the game, is a shitty thing to do.

The fediverse has rules built into it. It has a way that it works. Changing that makes it something else.

Maybe failover identities that consume the primary identity’s activities as a log. The failover identity (let’s call them jump clones for fun eh?) can be stood up as primary if the primary goes down (gets banned, instance dies, etc)

My potential argument against it starts with asking where the credentials are stored for authenticating this identity.

Currently the home instance stores the hashed password and performs authentication.

In a way, the identity “belongs to” the place that does authentication, which now happens to be the instance.

If identity is decoupled from an instance, that means authentication decouples from an instance.

If the identity “belongs to” the fediverse as a whole, then that means the fediverse as a whole has an authentication mechanism.

Unless we can come up with a distributed authentication mechanism, that means the fediverse as a whole has some authentication service, as in one, which means centralized.

This therefore breaks decentralization, unless the authentication is somehow handled in a distributed way. Maybe consensus or something on a hashed password? But if those hashed passwords are stored in a distributed manner, then you’d need a super long password to prevent rainbow table attacks on the passwords, given the hashed values would essentially be public information.

Maybe public keys are stored in a blockchain? I don’t know this is beyond me in the details.

But to summarize the problem at a data model level, an identity belongs to an instance, because the instance can authenticate them. If the identity now belongs to the whole fediverse, then the whole fediverse needs to be able to authenticate them, which if not handled correctly could lead to centralized authentication, centralized banning, censorship, reddit, etc.

For lo, the table hath a wall. Thy kind are doomed to work and have alarm clocks and zoom calls and depressions.
